Arsenal's Jack Wilshere set to join Bournemouth after Roma deal falls through

Midfielder Jack Wilshere is close to joining Bournemouth on a season-long loan after a deal to join Roma was blocked by Arsenal.

The Gunners refused to do business with Roma because of the way they handled a potential move for defender Kostas Manolas earlier this summer.

England international Wilshere, 24, held talks with both Bournemouth and Crystal Palace.

He is now set to undergo a medical with the Cherries on Wednesday.

Roma, fifth in Italy's Serie A after two games, have Wilshere's Arsenal team-mate Wojciech Szczesny on loan.
